Every video had a good amount of practice time, which is rare for online trainings! Also, each module encouraged us to think about how we would handle different situations and apply them in our own practice. It was great!!

SURPRISINGLY HANDS-ON
Very interactive with demos and "now try it on your own"! It was great! There was a fantastic blend of listening, watching, and doing. The quizzes really helped to refresh my memory and I can go back as often as I like.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
The science presented in the course can benefit every yoga professional. A lot of yoga focuses on the mind-body connection. So it’s important to learn as much about that mind-body connection as we can. It’s more than muscle; it’s fascia and mechanoreceptors, and our ability to tap in to all the tools our body has built in to it. And this course does a great job of presenting these other elements!

Very clear application of material
As an aerial (pole and lyra) fitness instructor and recently certified yoga instructor, it's really helpful to understand how best to apply SMR while integrating it into a movement practice. I've even started my own virtual "Mobility Matters" class focusing on these techniques to help students prehab their bodies!
"I teach Yin and really appreciated the overlap between SMR and the more passive style of Yin in targeting fascia and how the 2 could really complement each other."

FAQ
While anyone can complete RAD Yoga, it is best if you have a basic understanding of yoga poses and terms since you'll hear these throughout the course and the exam. If continuing education is not a factor and you'd simply like to understand more about the body, fascia, myofascial release, mobility, recovery, and how it all aligns within a yoga practice, we are not going to stop you! Many people integrate these techniques and methodologies into their self-care practice at home, not just pros.
A lot. You'll have lifetime access to all updated material, videos, downloads, course manual, guided notes, quizzes, exams, and discussion boards. This way, you'll be able to go back for a refresher whenever the need arises. You'll also be able to download your Certificate immediately after completing the exam at the end of the course.
We also send out an Education Newsletter every month with upcoming education videos and sessions, current research you can look over, and discounts on products and/or education.
Since the All In Kit will be used throughout this course, and the Centre and Recovery Rounds, we encourage you to grab that now, or even head over to the Eduction Bundles to get a discount.
This is not the standard go-at-your-own-pace online course where you sit down and passively listen and watch; people do not learn well when they're passive. That's why we instill many points throughout the course to get you up and moving, trying different techniques with us, and asking you to brainstorm solutions to real-life scenarios before moving on to the next module.
You can check out the learning outcomes by clicking here. The topics covered in this course include: • Forty-five Minute Warm Up Class • The Research On SMR (self myofascial release / MFR) • SMR Safety Tips • Cueing and Sequencing • RAD Yoga Teaching Methodology • Regional Anatomy • SMR Techniques that can be used for specific intentions (warm up, cool down, mobility / range of motion (ROM), recovery) • Overview of the Nervous System
After you purchase RAD Yoga Online, you will receive an email inviting you to the online platform. From there, you will create a username and password and can start digging in to the material right away.
Just be sure you have the All In Kit (the Centre and Recovery Rounds are also covered in depth) since many of the techniques used in this course will utilize that bundle of tools. You can also check out discounted versions by choosing the Eduction Bundle that fits your needs.
Yes, this course was designed for that purpose! There are many ways you can successfully use these techniques and methodologies, and we offer a lot of examples. It's up to you to physically practice them with us in this online course and then determine what will suite your personal and professional practice best.
